Local Efforts Stop Planned Biomass Plant in Indiana

A new biomass-to-energy plant proposal in Indiana has been withdrawn thanks to grassroots organizing and Sierra Club efforts. We supported the local opposition by pressuring the state environmental agency to scrutinize proposed water discharge, delaying the project as a result. Eventually, the company proposing the plant revoked its plan because local opposition became too strong. Now, the groundwater quality that was threatened will remain high, and a nearby river, designated as an 'Outstanding State Resource,' will be spared from pollution.
